    DSC_6627, a photo by Random and Odd on Flickr. My camera just got back from Nikon the other day and it has a 90 day on the repair and I needed to get it out and use the hell out of it with all my lenses. With a full tank of gas I headed out…

    IMAG2711, a photo by Random and Odd on Flickr. Out of the blue a couple of weeks ago we decided to do a little hike. It was actually one of those really good days in the middle of some rough ones. (quitting smoking). The hike turned into a bit of rock climbing and on the…

    IMAG2626, a photo by Random and Odd on Flickr. It was another year of volunteering for Western States 100 mile endurance run at the Foresthill aid station.

Why I Started My Personal Blog

I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.

I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
